tatep82 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 nothing too exciting im afraid just a few chassis & suspension mods, getting the front bumper repaired and sprayed, rear arch, inside the rear, side skirts and finish off with a service. as long as she's all done and dusted by march i will be happy!

tatep82 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 Not updated this for a while been busy with work, last night my mate came round so we started to do some work on here. Removed my ct9 mani,decat lines ect gearbox and clutch as we thought my crank seal was leaking but that wasn't the problem when we investigated it was the sump so that will be getting taken off tom and cleaned up. Fitted a new spec 6puk clutch while we was down there as hoping to go td04, hopefully get some pics and more updates soon Quote
tatep82 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 Big update been busy the past few weeks in the shed for a few hours a night when I get a chance got a lovely list of things I would like to do to the v. Main thing was source my little oil leak we thought it was the crank seal but when we got the gearbox off and the clutch it was the sump so that was a bonus but did the crank seal anyway as I had the part, we took the sump off and resealed that too so hopefully that cures the little oil leak, fitted a spec 6 puk clutch too as I'm going td04! 1st time I have really done anything to cars and love thinking to myself I did that but my mate was the main man. We got the gearbox back in lovely thank god it was a wee tight fit. Quote
